“Sasha my road dog” – She is Siberian Husky, Australian Shepherd, Blue Heeler, and Pitbull. Nick got her a few years ago for Christmas. He says she’s a weird one – she sleeps with her legs straight up, otherwise she pushes him off the bed. When they’re near a open field she gets major zoomies and looks like a dart. As everyone in the office knows, she’s a lover girl.

“My bully, Bella… she is two years old weighing in at 84 pounds.” She is trained and goes with him everywhere. His best friend gave Bella to him because he just wanted a dog. Kevin says “the best thing I could have gotten was her” She is great with his kids and she never meets a stranger! She loves the monster jam tour and Kevin thinks the people like her more than him!

This is Bentley! He’s just turned 2. Michelle rescued him from going to the pound.

Steven laughed as he talked about his service dog. “He is ten going on two.” They go everywhere together. He is very spoiled and very vocal when he is happy. “Whenever I stop somewhere he always jumps up in the driver’s seat and watches me.” Other drivers think it’s great and ask to take his picture.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Driver: Tony
This is Dixie, a Yorkshire Terrier who is about nine years old. “Sometimes I think about bringing the dog out but she’s a pain in the truck. She always wants me to hold her cause she can’t see out. She’s picky and sleeps on my side of the bed when I’m gone. She stays home with her mama.” Her nickname is “Piglet”![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”5986″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”5987″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”5988″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Driver: Curt

Joe has several friends he’s sharing with us. You’re in for a treat!

• Eevee is a beautiful American Staffordshire who’s about 7 or 8 years old.
  
• This is Omen, a Siberian Husky. He is about 10 months old and “is vocal as hell. Always yelling at me!”
• Now, for a non-traditional pet! Meet Rafiki, a male Albino Hognose Snake! Joe describes him as a “feisty little noodle.”
• Next, an extremely non-traditional pet, a Western Black Widow with no name.
• And finally, here’s Frantic, a Poecilotheria Metallica Tarantula which will continue to turn more blue as it ages!

Thanks Joe, for giving us a little peek at your unusual family![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_slide” interval=”5″ images=”5966,5967,5969,5970,5968″ img_size=”medium” onclick=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”5982″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Driver: Skyler

• This is Harmony. She is only a few years old and a wonderful trucking dog! Melissa got her from a rescue in Shreveport.
